Rule 405 Motions for Attorney's Fees
(a) All motions for an attorney's fee shall be accompanied by an affidavit of counsel setting forth in detail the dates of the services rendered, the exact nature of the service rendered on each date, the names of the person rendering the service (if paralegal or someone other than counsel of record), and number of hours (or fractions thereof) rendered by each person for service rendered on each date. The number of hours shall be totaled, and a suggested reasonable amount of compensation per hour shall be set forth.
(b) The affidavit must also disclose the statute or other authority in support of the requested award of an attorney's fee. If the applicable statute is KRS 411.195, then the affidavit must also contain a showing that the requested attorney's fee was actually paid, or was agreed to be paid, by the party enforcing the written obligation. When a party seeking an award of an attorney's fee relies upon a writing to establish entitlement to the fee, a copy of the writing shall be attached with the applicable portion highlighted.
